Few defenders have kept Rickie Lambert, the Barclays Premier League’s leading
home-grown goalscorer, in check this season.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have failed to shut out the
Southampton striker but one player who has twice managed that feat is Ashley
Williams, the £12 million-rated Swansea City captain, who is wanted by
Liverpool and Arsenal.

Kirkby-born Lambert, who played alongside Williams during his early years in
the lower leagues at Stockport County, believes the Wales defender would be
a fitting arrival at his beloved Anfield.
